Answers to: SSH session Timeout after 1 Hour of no keystroke activityhttps://answers.ssh.com/questions/2422/ssh-session-timeout-after-1-hour-of-no-keystroke-activity<p>We are encountering a 1 Hour termination of an application running on a PC. The environment is : An enterprise COBOL application, a Tectia SSH Server, Virtual PC’s on a Network running a Terminal Emulator to access the COBOL application through an SSH layer. The Terminal Emulator is being closed after 1 Hour of no Keystroke activity. The Terminal Emulator is sending a KeepAlive message every 5 seconds. What is causing the TIMEOUT to occur exactly in one hour of no keyboard activity? Where are the settings placed for the 1 Hour TIMEOUT?</p>enTue, 25 Mar 2014 21:58:04 +0200Answer by Joe - Tectia Supporthttps://answers.ssh.com/questions/2422/ssh-session-timeout-after-1-hour-of-no-keystroke-activity/2435<p>Its possibly that the Emulator can't handle the Rekey Interval. Be default on Tectia servers that is set to 1 hr. The setting for Windows can be seen <a href="https://www.ssh.com/manuals/server-admin/64/gui-connections.html#gui-connectionsparameters">here</a></p>
<p>It could also be the <a href="https://www.ssh.com/manuals/server-admin/64/gui-services.html#gui-servicesbasic">idle time out</a> if that was changed from the default.</p>Joe - Tectia SupportTue, 25 Mar 2014 21:58:04 +0200https://answers.ssh.com/questions/2422/ssh-session-timeout-after-1-hour-of-no-keystroke-activity/2435
